CBG oil application

CBG oil is a hemp extract, made of legally approved varieties of hemp, and which contains a cocktail of cannabinoids, mainly CBG – cannabidiol. THC is contained in the legal, allowed, so called homeopatic amount up to 0,2%.

CBG oil dosing and using

The CBG oil drops are being absorbed through mucous tissue (in the mouth) or through food and drinks. The dosage is 1-5 drops a day, maximally 10 drops a day. It is recommended to always start with small dosage and gradually increase it. He children should use dosage according to their weight. There are no contraindications known. According to the legislative, the CBG oil is “raw material for further processing”.

CBG oil and legislative

CBG oil – hemp extract – is, according to the Czech legislative – “a raw material for further processing”, just like all other herbs. CBG oil is practically pure herbal extract, dissolved in oil made of hemp seeds.

CBG oil manufacturing

CBG oil is manufactured by distillation – that is a method, known since the ancient times for dividing liquid substances and which is based on different volatility of fractions of the boiling mixture of liquids. The mixture of liquids is made by soaking the hemp blossoms in alcohol, to which all the contained cannabinoids are dissolved. After the distillation, the content of THC is limited by law to the maximal level of 0,2%, however the other cannabinoids are preserved and so a cocktail of cannabinoids is created – a CBD oil.

How does CBG oil work in the body – a laic explanation

There are CB1 and CB3 nerve receptors in human body. They can be mostly found in the brain and in the immune system. CB1 receptors are actually the most frequent type of nerve receptors in brain! These receptors react on cannabinoids (they are activated and deactivated by them) – the cannabinoid that are produced by human body itself (endocannabinoids) and those coming from plants, like CBG, CBN or THC. CBG influences mainly CB1 receptors (those in the brain). By that it naturally supports the immune system, and it has positive influence on bone growth.

CBG, or cannabigerol, is an often-overlooked cannabinoid, although it is extremely important. In fact, it is the needed source for causing most of the effects of hemp. It acts as a precursor to CBD, THC and some other cannabinoids. As the plant grows, CBG is converted to other cannabinoids by enzymes in the plant, so it tends to be present in low levels when the hemp is ready for harvest.

Cannabigerol (CBG) is not psychoactive and is known to block metabolic activity, the psychoactive effects of THC. CBG has been shown to stimulate neurogenesis (brain cell growth). CBG is also antibacterial, anticancer and helps in insomnia.
